Inspirations: Flowers (Leipzig)



This is a really tiny pansy or viola (viola tricolor). It is easy to overlook her. But just look how she found her place between stones, bricks and mortar!

Inspirations: Crow (Leipzig)



Oh yes, this one is a real macho crow guy! He was acting like the king of the parking space in front of the supermarket! 

And I have to admit, he is really a gorugeous one! 

I still have to grin when I see how he stands on top of the car and looked straight at the camera! ^^


Inspecting his kingdom....

Inspirations: On the streets (Leipzig)



Yes. You are allowed to smile! I had to smile too ^^

And after seeing the bunny... the streetart loving bunny! I just saw something next to him. 
Can you see it? 


Another smile! Hidden in the wall! Oh... I just love this one! I really do!


Next to my street I found this stencil...


...in detail...


Sorry... I can't translate this one! If somebody can, please feel free to do so! :)


And guess what... another little ghost!


"Relax, it's only a ghost."

Inspirations: University of leipzig



I already made this pictures some time ago but didn't show them to you. This is the new building of the university of leipzig situated where the former Paulinerkirche (church of St. Pauli) stood. Therefor there was a reference to the old church integrated in the new design (the church was destroyed 1968, for more detailed informations just have a look at wiki :) ). 


It was a stormy and quite dark day. 


It is all blues and greys. Glas and stone. Surprisingly beautiful. 


But all the blues where stunning in the glas!


Irregular shapes... which are still ordered.


Oh just look at the broken lines! Even in twenty years, when it is used and dirty, from smog and birds and whatever... it will still look great! Because all the different shades, the broken lines... you won't see any dirt at all because the aging and weathering will be integrated in the whole image of the building. One may thing it looks so easy to accomplish but this is the hardest task at all! 


When the whole project "building a new main campus" started, to be honest, I didn't like the 3D pictures of the winning design. I was surprised how much I fell in love with it. The part which reminds in its shape of the former church... I could go without it. Nice but not too special. Maybe because the images are too well known? But the other parts, playing with glas and lights, with broken lines and colours... I could dream of whole cities build like this! :)

Inspirations: Crow (Leipzig)


I got her! Look at the feathers... isn't she beautiful?


But no crow likes to be photographed...

...they really all fly away as soon as they see a camera!

PS: If you wonder how it comes that I managed to post this frequently: I just found out that I can post in advance! Yes, everybody except me was already knowing and using this feature... and I even knew that it exist... but somehow I didn't really realized it ^^

Inspirations: On the streets (Leipzig XIII)




Work. Eat. Buy.

Consume then die.

I found this little piece on this street sign...


...together with a banana! Made me smile!


Know you know why the zebra is striped in black and white...


...you won't see it in a snowy grey city! ^^


Run?


Run!


Guerilla knitting! Love it...!


...it is already some weeks (months?) old...


...but still little bright and colourful spots...


...while the weather is cold, dark and grey...


Look around you...



...there are even angels to be found!


PS: Sorry for the long quiet time again. My body thought it would be a good idea to get to the emergency. I tend to disagree but I got a feeling that I don't have a saying in this ;)

Getting better, still not good. I hope I won't forget again how great it is to have a body without pain (as soon as this pain is finally gone).

Oh, and I hate being ill! Hate it! I want to work, to create stuff, learn for my defense... not to try to hold myself without pain. (sorry for this but I just had to say it ;)).

Inspirations: Now he changed to green! (Leipzig)



Some of you might already know the pink monkey. No, not pink anymore... He changed to green! And yes, I found him on my way to work. Am I getting a little bit paranoid? Hey, pink and now neon green monkeys! Who wouldn't? ^^


But he seems to be sorry...





And look! Here he is back again in pink! With a ballon....


He makes me smile every time I find another one of him :)

Inspirations: All the things... (Leipzig)


"This is dedicated to all the things you really believed in!"

I don't know who put this big vinyl poster on the wall of the house. But I had to take a picture as an impression! Especially because behind the fence there were these old toys.


The poor little ones... 

Somehow this is a really sad picture for me. But combined with the sentence above... it appeals to something in me. Like a memory...
